James Mooney, John Ramsey, and C.C. Royce, the acknowleged early experts on social scientific study of Native American Indians all referred to this aboriginal "highway" as the Great Indian Warpath. John R. Swanton, who did likewise, also produced a map of the major Indian trails in the eastern U.S. which also clearly shows the GIW and the "Warriors' Path" to be completely separate and indeed perpendicular entities.

The sources of information about the route of the GIW from Guntersville to the Overhill country are numerous old maps of the locale from the nineteenth century, local historical accounts, and knowledge of the physical geography of the area.

If I get a chance I'll make an overview map. Already have a decent base map that could be used for it. Could try to put several trails on it. If I find the time anyway. I like historical geography. Pfly 22:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
